Shade plants?
I have an area under pine trees that is shaded. Are there garden plants
that do good in the shade? I know sunshine is good, but here, it is brutal in the summer. I am figuring out how to arrange my garden, and I could use this pointer. Thanks. |

Also, visit a real nursery near your home, not a lumber yard or hardware store. Ask them for advice. Some nurseries even have a service that will plan your garden for a fee; if you spend a certain amount of money there, they will then refund or give you credit for the fee. -- David E.
